Show Us Your Server [2012]

Here's the home server :)

Lenovo D400 - Intel Atom, 2GB RAM, 4 x 2TB HDDs, Windows Home Server 2011 , it uses about 45W idle. The reason the middle lights don't show up is because they are formatted as GPT vs MBR so the monitoring softare can't read the status!

Would make a great one. It's just a test machine for me.

8x10 core Xeons = 80 Physical cores, 160 logical

8 socket server? Didn't know they still made them! :p. What do you run on that, a lot of VMs or compiling/testing or what?

Also with reguards to the 3.5" vs 2.5" yes 2.5" drive do use less power generally, you have to check their speeds though (e.g. my 2.5" SAS drives are 10k and 15k RPM, whereas your 3.5" drive is 7200 or 5400 rpm :) )

Here's my home server. The case was cool when all the LEDs worked, but that was a long time ago. Got it on Newegg for $50 back in 2003

or something. Server has an Athlon II X2 240, a Biostar TA790GXE motherboad. 4GB DDR2, 2x 1TB HDDs(file storage) and a 320GB HDD

(holds VMs), with ESXi 5.1 running off of a flash drive. It hosts 2 virtuals, one is a domain controller and the other serves Sharepoint

Foundation 2010. The box on the right is my roommate's server, it serves as a secondary dc, but I can't remember what's in it.

Got an ASUS RT-N16 running dd-wrt going to 2 gigabit switches. One switch downstairs connects the servers and my roommate's PS3.

Other switch upstairs connects his PC, my PC, and another 16 port 10/100 (which connects my repair area).

Here's my desktop. Core2 Quad Q6600 clocked at 3Ghz, 8GB DDR2, DFI P35-T2RS motherboard, Radeon HD 6950, 2x Intel 80GB SSD in

Raid0. Yeah, I need to upgrade the CPU/RAM/mobo lol. Top monitor is a 20.1", bottom monitor is 23", and the large TV/monitor is 42" (for

great Netflix!).

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
